Stopped by Kloke Locomotive Works today to check on progress on the Lincoln Funeral Car. Lots of work to do before April. See the pictures here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41428530@N03/15416915489/lightbox/ |

Try this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41428530@N03/15416915489/sizes/l As Dave experienced, Flickr's been in the habit lately of redirecting to the Homepage when one links to a photo address, I've gotten in the habit of linking to the "Sizes" page or the individual JPEG addresses for this reason. |

Very nice, and practical with the steel underframe and air brake. Are the wood walls also hiding a steel frame? dave |

I was not expecting all the steel tubing and plywood. |

This is how we build replicas today that will remain robust and attractive in hard service and out in weather, a very different set of circumstances that a museum quality exact replica using the same materials (good luck with that), tools, craftsmanship and techniques as were originally used. Those are essentially works of art rather than machines. I'm pleased to see somebody doing this quality of practical working car construction to be used in modern service requirements without eliminating the appearance of the originals. dave |

Kloke does fantastic work and I can't wait to see the Lincoln funeral car in person. We'll have both the Lincoln funeral car and Leviathan operating over Memorial Day weekend at the Lorain & West Virginia Railway in Wellington, Ohio. Stop on down if you're available. http://lsra.org/ |
